Northern Lights (His Dark Materials)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Ages 9 to 11
by: Philip Pullman

March 05, 2007
A young and independent girl called Lyra is forced into adventure when her close friend is kidnapped. As the story unfolds, the reader is drawn into this parallel universe of mysterious creatures and soul daemons, tracking the progress of typical Pullman anti-heroes. Through drawing upon aspects of the real world (the gypsy culture that live on barges, for instance, were based on the travellers of Oxford's Jericho canal), Northern Lights is heavily doused in the politics of Christianity and authority figures of the real world.

Suitable for later KS2 Years (certainly 5 and 6, and possibly able Year 4 readers). His Dark Materials trilogy is a great opportunity to increase the interest of reading for enjoyment, and has opportunity for ... Read More:

The Enormous Crocodile

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Ages 9 to 11
by: Roald Dahl

When my children were little this was their favourite book. I bought a tape to go with it and when my eldest son went to school aged 4 and the teacher read it to the class she had to ask him to keep quiet as he knew it word for word! My son is now 23 and has recently taken the book back to his own home. My daughter now aged 21 also wanted it - so all these years later i'm buying another copy for her. We all think it's a wonderful book, read it aloud to children using silly voices and they'll love it. My kids still remember my impression of the roly poly bird. Great fun.

Lyra's Oxford

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Ages 9 to 11
by: Philip Pullman

November 01, 2007
As someone who has recently finished reading His Dark Materials and considers it one of the best series of novels ever written, I eagerly bought both this and Once Upon A Time In The North together from Amazon and - considering them both together - I am glad I did. I love miscellanies and companion books and both of these books are both great for the serious fan, containing snippets of information deliberately out of context - the idea being to make you think and fill in the gaps with your own imagination.

But if you have only read the first book (or seen the film), I would advise buying Once Upon A Time In The North - as that is a great standalone story of reasonable length - and not this one until you have read your way to the end of the His ... Read More:

The Twits

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Ages 9 to 11
by: Roald Dahl

April 05, 2001
BOOK TITLE; THE TWITS
AUTHOR: ROALD DAHL
ILLUSTRATOR: Quentin Blake

Mrs Twit and Mr Twit look just like stone-age people or cavemen. I think they would be the ugliest people you have ever seen. This book is the funniest story I have ever heard. I would recommend this to any ages.
